They lost me when they started to release canon spinoffs in different platforms back in the day and the Epic exclusivity didn't appealed too much, but now... I might give it a try to understand the story.

OMG, I didn't know about it but now I need it pronto. But it will cost me 10€ more because I'm not from UK, damn import fees, looks like import is the only option, is not sold here.

How do you know you are hunting your clone and not the other way around? What if you are the clone? Kill the OG, escape from the lunatic who made you, replace him and live OG's life, profit.

Quoting: pbThey should totally do that and pay you for consulting. ;-)

The bigger the paycheck, the better. Someone call AH.

The amount of backlash they could have saved by making it optional and gifting some cool armor or something for those who logged in is amazing. People would log in just for the armor and everyone would be happy.
Years ago I did a Warner account just for the free batsuits of the Arkham games.

Following the Fallout trend I decided to give a chance to 76 and I'm glad I did. In some ways is better than vanilla FO4, more enemies, more weapons, better base building and you don't have to worry about your camp being attacked, some patrols will spawn from time to time but only if you are at your camp, a couple of well placed turrets once you learn where the spawn point is and forget about it.
A lot of camp stuff is locked behind a paywall but daily, weekly and character challenges give you premium currency, I've already bought some neat stuff with those. What annoys me is the stash limit.

One of the things I like the most is the community, I've met a lot of friendly people. Each server capacity is 24 players, but is a big map so most of the time you have the classic lonely experience I love from these games, but from time to time you stumble upon another vault dwellers with their wave emote ready to go, they even leave their camp collectors unlocked so you can go and take some water/food if you need it. And vets don't have any problem to assist you if you ask for help, they even invite you to a team if you show up to a high level world event (which I recommend, easy exp, just tap every enemy once even if you do 0 damage, you'll get the exp when they die).

The perk and special system is adapted to the online formula but is very flexible, don't think too hard about your build at the beginning, focus on a type of weapon and pick your perks around it. Besides that, choose the perks you like, you can always swap them if you change your mind, even redistribute your special points once you reach level 50.

The cherry on top is the absence of anti cheat and absolutely 0 problems with Steam Deck.

TL;DR: Fallout 76 deserves a second chance if you like the franchise, a very different game for what a I remember from the 2018 reviews.

The ultrawide support is a joke, it stretches the UI, a mod is still needed. And they removed the launcher to make it Deck Verified, now you can't change the graphic settings because there isn't a ingame menu for that, unless you make the launcher come back with the steamdeck=0 command.

Quoting: whizseStreaming possibly? Extra hits for your YouTube channel?

This is probably the only scenario that makes sense to me, making profit out of it.

This is hard to understand for me, you can count with your fingers the amount of AAA games that come out polished or finished. But you have people paying to play a few days earlier for what? Paying to be beta tester? I bet this practice makes crunch even worst for developers. My head hurts when I think about this.

Tell me they are also reviving Acclaim or Interplay and I'll go to the flea market looking for a 90's tracksuit to stay fresh.
